The remains were inferred in the pres
ence of the newspaper men of the city.
l interviewed DIR. Moreno, to-day. He
is pleasant gentleman, typical Cuban.
about forty-five years old, with slightly
gray hair, and speaks very little English.
He says that he is quite confident
that the disease is not yellow fever, but
can be convinced by post mortem ex-
animation as he has had a number of
years of experience in the hospitals of
Havana. He has ingredients with which
to analyze the stomach thoroughly. and
has asked permission to do so, but was
refused. He also wrote for information
about certain points of the prevailing
disease to satisfy himself. but the infor-
nation was also refused by DIR. Sweeting.
All the remaining patients reported
doing well. Jack Vaughn, of Kissim-
NEE notoriety, is one of the two late
cases reported. Patients are allowed to
remain at their houses since the disease
was declared epidemic. The other death
was that of Mrs. Mary Mclean, who died
at the hospital. j. L. MoTT, JR.

THE PENNSYLVANIA FLOOD.
At Least Two Hundred Persons RENDERED

At Least Two Hundred Persons Rendered
HomeIess-Resulto of a Water pout.
JoHNSTowN, Pa, June S.-Ths flood
yesterday was caused by water spout
west of Hooversville. Somerset County,
a village on the line of the Somerset and
Cambria Railroad. The village was en-
tirely under water, and the destruction
of property is great. Many thousand
logs belonging to the Latrobe Lumber
Company passed here yesterday. The
bridges above here were carried off. The
Greenville bridge was partly destroyed.
The one at Coopersdale was entirely
swept away, as was the one at Won
Lumen's near town. The destruction of
property is enormous, but the amount
cannot be ascertained now.
At Hooverville the work of the flood
is appalling. Upwards of twenty resi-
dences were washed off their foundations
and deposited on the ground. At least
100 families i'm this borough alone lost
everything in the lower story and cellars
of their houses. The water having sub
sided the scene to-day is one of demOrali-
zation and ruin. Yards and streets are
blocked with debris and rubbish, houses
are filled up with water soaked goods
and mud, and multitudes of women and
children are standing about weeping and
mourning over their ruined homes.
In Grubtown, Conemaugh Borough,
| Worthwhile, Minersville, Cambria City
and Coopersville the same scene is pre-
sented, and it is estimated that in the
suburbs and this city two hundred peo-
pie were temporarily rendered homeless,
and dependent for shelter on the charity
of their more fortunate neighbOrs. No
estimate can now be made of the damage,
but it is thought that it will reach $780,
600 in this vicinity alone. No lives, so
| far as is known were lost.
Mrs. ID. j. Morrell, widow of Hon. ID.
j. Morrell, died from heart disease about
IL O'Clock last, night, produced, it is sup
posed, by the excitement caused by the
water surrounding her house and being
several feet in the lower story. Col.
James NJ. Cooper, a wealthy and infiu-
entail citizen of Coopersdale, also drop
ped dead from over excitement. He
and Mrs. Morrell were each about sixty
five years of age. A number of other
deaths from the floods are reported.

CHICAGO, H., June 5.-Moritz Lesser.
a wealthy Hebrew of this city, "A month
ago married Miss Denning, the daughter
of prominent Catholic family of Ar
kansas. Owing 10 the ssuitor's creed the
match was opposed by the young lady's
parents. Finding that the Dennings
could not be brought Ia favor his pro-

to elope with him. The couple were

Can ONLY Aid the state.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The Marine
Hospital Bureau is in receipt of numer-
Gus applications from the lower counties
of Florida for governmental aid to pre-
vent the spread of yellow fever, and for
the stationing of physicians connected
with the service at points where the fever
is likely to break out. These applications
are evidently based on the idea that the
Government may be called upon to act
at any time, whereas according to the
terms of the appropriation for the pre-
vention of the spread of yellow fever
the Marine Hospital Service can only act
in conjunction with, and in aid of the
local authorities in case of necessity.
No such necessity is deemed TO exist at
present in Florida except at Key West
and Tampa. The Bureau has no infor-
nation of the existence of an epide mic
at any point except Key West.

WITHOUT A CHARACTER.
Signal Omcer Green Colored, Dismissed
from the Service

Signal Omcer Green Colored, Dismissed
from the Service
WASHINGTON, June S.-W. III. Green,
the only colored man ever admitted to
the Signal Service, has been dismissed
from that service without a character
The only significance in this order lies in
the fact that he is a colored man and is
the man over whom Gen. Hazen and
Secretary of War Lincoln had a con-
troversy. Green was a graduate of a
New York college and was highly
recommended, and the Secretary over
ruled Hazen. Green, soon after his APP
pointment, was assigned to duty
at Pensacola. The sergeant in charge
of the Signal Office there refused
to accept Green as his assistant, and was
court-martialed and reduced to a private
for disobedience of orders. Green was
placed in charge at Pensacola, but did not
give satisfaction, neither to the Signal
Office nor to the community he served.
He was sent to Rochester, n. v, where
his record has been very unsatisfactory,
and it is stated that had he been a white
man his connection with the Signal Office
would have been summarily cut short
long before this, but the desire to give
the colored man every possible indulgence
led to his retention until his conduct
necessitated his dismissal.

MORE MIXED THAN EVER.
The Labor Element said to he Opposin q
''TaIiapoosa BiII' for senator.

New York World.
CONCORD. June 6.-The attitude of
General Marston i'm the Senatorial con-
test is considered of more importance
now than it was a few days ago. If the
reports of his hard work and sudden in
crease of strength are true he may prove
a more powerful opponent to Chandler
than Rollins. 1t now leaks out that a
factor of General Marston's strength will
be the labor element, if it can be brought
into line. His friends have been labor
ing quietly in this direction, and
he is probably the only candidate now
in the field who can marshal them.
General Marstons record in the Legisla-
ture and his views on the labor ques-
tion are favorably received by them. If
they conclude to attend the caucus
Thursday night and be bound by its re-
suits there is little chance of there being
much of bolt. There is considerable
number of Democratic knights of Labor,
and if they unite with the Republican
will put on an entirely new complex
ion.
The Chandler men are a little disturb
ed at the changes that have taken place
recently. The possibility of the sixty
Labor men uniting, irrespective of party,
is a new problem. Just how Chandler
can convince them that he is a good la
Dor man is a hard thing to dis
cover. This. with Gen. Marston's recent
prominence and the perplexing long
term question, coupled with murmurs of
an unseen power in the shape of the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad influence, added
to the running fire Rollins has kept up
from the first, makes the path To the
Senatorial chair of Chandler difficult TO
follow.
The Democrats have not yet organized
for the fight in any particular direction.
They are interested spectators of the in
ternal feuds which are splitting the Re
publican ranks, and are waiting To see
how things come out. If they are given
a chance to combine with either of the
factions to defeat Chandler they will dc
50, preferring almost anybody to ITALIA
poosa Bill a. he is called.

LOUISVILLE, June S.-The following
are the particulars of a re-openinS of
hostilities in Kentucky's most lawless
county-Rowan. The citizens of Moore
head are again startled by the killing of
three men yesterday. The town mar
shaI of MoOrehead, John Mannin, had
warrant for the arrest of Jack and Bill
Logan, sons of the notorious DIR. Henry
ID. Logan, who is now in Lexington Jail
on the charge of murder. Mannin went
to the house of the Logan boys to ar
rest them and an old lady
told him they were not in. He told her
that he would have to search the house,
and proceeded to do so. As he assembled
the stairs the Logan boys, who We're
concealed above, fired upon him, infiict-
ing fatal wounds. Mannin's posse of
two men, who were with him, then re-
turnad the fire of the Logan boys, killing
them both. Mannin never took any part
in the Martin-Tolliver feud. The Logans
were active Martin supporters.

not come down. Then he took three
men with him, and and after awhile the
three went away; and the crows came
back and he shot as many as he wanted

could count three, but they could not
count four.
